2Cetatea Rupea
It is a medieval fortress, built starting with the 14th century on the hill of Cohalm. The first documentary attestation dates from 1324 when the Saxons revolted against King Carol Robert of Hungary took refuge inside the fortress, Castrum Kuholm. The name of Kuholom refers to the rock on which it was built: basalt. Documents from the 15th century mention the fortress as an important trade and craft center with 12 guilds. The citadel served over time as a fortification but also a refuge for the population that lived in the surrounding hills and valleys, its settlement being strategic: at the junction of the roads connecting Transylvania, Moldova and Wallachia through the southeastern passes.Rupea Citadel, built on Cohalmului Hill, dominating the city from above, was built and expanded in the 14th-17th centuries, as a fortress and refuge for the surrounding villages.
